Sorry I haven't replied sooner...I've been reading but not feeling very well lately and not able to post much. I know it feels good to get stuff done and I certainly go through stretches like this too where no matter what the cost I just need to DO stuff. And honestly...keeping busy for me is a good thing and why I still work (and can't wait to get back to it now)...keeps my mind occupied with something other than the pain. Not that the pain is less or goes away...but when all you can do is sit and think about the pain it feels so much worse. Even if there's hell to pay in the way of a flare up after...sometimes it really is worth it for that short period of normalcy.

Just remember to take care of yourself. Hugs.
